When performing BO to minimize \(R\) , we could use a genetic algorithm to create new samples as we did for the air foils. However, we now have to explore a 256-dimensional shape space, and each evaluation of the surrogate model, while much faster than an actual simulation, requires computing \(\textbf {P}\) . This involves running the Marching Cube algorithms to compute the mesh vertices [1]}, which takes time and makes vanilla genetic algorithms very slow.
